Released yesterday: the latest Automatic Brewing Co beer to hit the taps of Blind Lady Ale House and Tiger!Tiger! Tavern is B.R.A.U.G.W.eisse, a 5.8% ABV Hefeweizen brewed as part of the new UCSD Extension Brewing Certificate Program. This was a collaboration with classmates who work at commercial breweries that are taking my class, and the name draws from those companies that contributed to its creation: Ballast Point, Refuge Brewing, Automatic Brewing, UCSD, Green Flash, & White Labs.

Also new on-tap is the Automatic Gigantic SuperDuper, a Lactobacillus-Soured ale we brewed with Gigantic Brewing from Portland, Ore. At 3.7%ABV, this wheat beer is refreshing, tart, and light.

And currently fermenting is a new Automatic Will Powered IPA (Big Cat Edition), the Oatmeal IPA brewed under the menacingly-strict commands of Will Ferrell. Brewed for the upcoming Cancer For College Fundraiser "The Comedy Explosion" featuring Will Ferrell and Special Guests (including Tenacious D!), this beer will help support the good work of Cancer For College, as well as quench the thirst of the shows performers.

In September, Tiger!Tiger! turns Two. We have a bunch of events lined up, including a new Anniversary Ale Release (Barrel-Aged Stout), a hoppy Oktoberfest-style Lager for Ok-TIGER-Fest (Brewed with Doug Hasker of Gordon Biersch), A Dogfish Head Event (including a tasting of 120Min IPA), and more!
